Ruth Sorensen is just amazing. She really is the master of working with Kauni yarns. Here is her latest design:
It is quite striking. I bought the pattern even though it is not on my short list at this moment in time (I need a little break from my Kauni family ;)).  I bought the pattern to acknowledge the creativity and talent that many of us are taking advantage of with Ruth’s free pattern. I want her to get something out of her moment of fame! I need to finish a few things before I even think about this one, though I really like it. For those of you who have not yet started a Kauni, this is certainly one to consider.Â
Hmmmmm, I could start over—-N-n-n-n-a-a-a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h!! 😉
PS — By request, here is a link to the Kauni Knitalong (KauniKAL) that describes another source for Ruth’s pattern. I actually bought my pattern from this source but gave Ruth’s information so the link would be directly to her. Sorry if people had trouble buying the pattern from Ruth!
I too bought the pattern and I ordered the yarn when I ordered for my kauni cardigan (that is still on the needles)We have everyone back to college- so I am hopeful that I will have more knitting time and less cooking and LAUNDRY time. I really thought that I did a better job of making my boys self sufficient- I guess I am an enabler!!

Susan- This comes under the title of “stranded colorwork”- it shows that
the possibilities are truly endless, and Ruth is an amazing talent.
What is your opinion of the yarn? I really like it, it’s got alot
of body, and is very similar to Shetland. It’s spun nicely too.

Now this design is more me… definitely something I would wear. I am such a “fall” person. Where do we buy the pattern? I will definitely puchase one and support her, she is obviously a very talented knitter. I just hope the pattern is in english 🙂
Have a hap-hap-happy Thursday!

Yes, I saw the pattern on Ruth’s site (and a myspace page, of all places!)
yesterday. Did you see the simple, yet effective patters that Jean Thompson
and Astrid are using?
Renee (a good yarn), Deepa and I ordered Kauni EQ a few weeks ago, and I
think only one of us plans to knit Ruth’s original design. (Even then,
Renee is thinking about knitting the pattern vertically from sleeve to
sleeve.)
We’re planning a local Kauni KAL, perhaps starting in December.

Ahh, I meant Jeannie Townsend! http://justmejeanie.blogspot.com/
She used EQ and the Teal mixture (EL? EZ? ES?). I think it’s really
lovely- fair isle without switching colors all the time!

Do you have a link for a place that we can buy her pattern other than her site? I’d like to buy it
to support her. I haven’t gotten to start the first one yet….still looking for the yarn…but going to
do it!
I love your blog…..You both are amazing knitters!

Thanks for pointing out Ruths pattern, I had to go over and buy it straight away it’s so lovely. Then I had to buy some yarn, after all what would I do if they run out?! If anyone asks I’m saying you made me! No, really, thankyou!
